To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, CHARLES W. BURK- HEAD, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State ofOhio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Attachments forSafes, of which the following is a specificationv This invention relatesto attachments for safe knobs, and more particularly to handleattachments for the same, the object being to provide a detachablehandle which is much simpler and cheaper in construction,

than devices of this character now in use and one which is provided withmeans for engaging the knob so as to prevent the device from turning onthe same.

With these objects in view, the invention consists of the novel featuresof construction,

hereinafter fully described, and pointed out.

in the claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specificationz-Figure 1 is aperspective view of the portion of the safe door carrying thecombination dial, showing my device at tached. Fig. 2 is a top plan viewof my device attached to the knob which is partly broken away. Fig. 3 isa perspective view of the parts of my device detached.

In the drawings A, indicates a portion of a safe door, B, the dialplate, C, the knob and E my improved device attached to the knob, whichconsists of a metal strip F, provided with a slot F, and an outwardlyextending pin F adjacent one end forming a handle. The other end of theplate is bent as shown at F, to form a hook adapted to fit over the knobof the handle and is provided with a threaded opening in which athumb-screw G, is mounted, adapted to engage the knob, for the purposehereinafter fully described.

A plate H, having a curved end H, forming a hook is adapted to fit overthe knob and is provided with an outwardly extending threaded pin Hadapted to work in the slot F, and be securely locked therein by athumb-nut I, which securely locks the plates together on the knob.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided adevice which can be adjusted to fit any size knob and one which isprovided with means for securely locking the device on the knob Withoutany danger of it turning.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desireto secure by Letters Patent is A detachable handle comprising alongitudinal slotted plate having a handle at one end and a hook at theother provided with a threaded opening, a thumb-screw working throughsaid opening, a plate having a hook at one end and a threaded pinextending out at right angles at the other, adapted to Work in saidplate and a thumb-nut working on said pin, for the purpose described.
